Message Subject Experts in Lucid Dreaming: A Question
Poster Handle YouAreDreaming
Post Content
I did a WBTB session this morning which produced a lot of false-awakening looped lucid dreams. It was a lot of fun once I caught on as to what was going on. The first dream, I thought I was awake in RL because dream realism can be as real as our waking life so got ready for work, drove to my office, started working until lunch (about 3 hours). But I had eyestrain so thought for lunch I'd go home lie in bed and rest my eyes before returning to work. I even prepare for dreaming as I always do and go to sleep in the first cycle of the FAL.

I wake up in the second loop, and go into my kitchen and see the time on the microwave and it says it's 8:20 which doesn't make sense because I thought it was after 12:00pm. Then I realize that I must be dreaming just on that one out-of-place detail and put my hand on the counter of the kitchen island looking at how perfectly realistic and stable the environment (but I still thought I actually had gone to work and came home for a nap, in reality, it was still my second-sleep cycle because of how real the first cycle was ).

So I'm like ok cool, as long as I'm not going to be late for work I don't mind hanging out in the dream state for a bit. My roommate's cat is there and I pet it enjoying how realistic it was, and of course its happy and purring like it does in real life.

I go to the window of my apartment and look out at the street, the mountains, the 7-11 across the street and decide to push myself through the window glass and go for a walk so I press up against the window and pass through it and land on the ground. I start to walk but end up waking up again.

This is the third cycle of the FAL, I get out of bed and go check the time on the microwave as before and notice it's now 8:40 am and I'm confused again about the time they realize it's because I am still dreaming and now I catch on that I am in a false-awakening loop cycle and decide to just go with it because I like how realistic and stable the dream environment is in this state.

I do the same thing anchor on the counter of the island and the cat is laying on the couch near the window. I hear people coming up the stairs and there are two people, a woman and a man. This confirms 100% that it's a dream as for sure that wouldn't happen in RL but I was already stable and aware.

I talk with the lady and tell her that I am in a false-awakening loop and that I am dreaming. She doesn't believe me that it's a dream, and she says how do I know I'm not dead. I laughed and said, "Well, that will happen some day and if this is death then I still exist so who cares? It's a win win." and she laughs.

But I know I am dreaming, not dead and don't even let that idea cause any fear or concern. I decide to show her it's a dream and I levitate then float to the wall and start to walk up the wall like one of those trick rooms, it was a cool effect, loved it. She acted all amazed and her friend was in awe as well by the dream trick.

I wake up again, same thing lying in bed but now I am not sure if I am really awake and think I could still be in the FAL so I get up and walk to see the microwave and the time is 8:20am again. Right away I know I am still looping but this time my roomate is there and I'm a bit unstable so I am constantly anchoring by touching surfaces of the counter, wall, and door jam of his room when I walk over to go talk to him.

I tell him I am in a very long false-awakening loop and that the current setting is a dream as I hold onto his door jam to address the stability issues. While stabilizing his skin tone changes color to a dark tone then back again. This is just a stability issue but it does produce neat visual effects in the dream.

He's concerned about me because this dream-character version believes the dream environment to be reality which is a very common theme with dream characters more often than not they do not play along that it's a dream. That tends to be rare where a dream character will tell me it is a dream not the other way around.

I tell him that I've been at this for a very long time, and it is a dream so don't worry about me. I decide that I want to go to a restaurant and eat some food and try not to worry about the time passing because I don't want to wake up but I'm nagging in my mind that I am on a short lunch break from work setup from the first FAL, that was how realistic it was, that 3 hours of work was very very convincing lol.

I leave my apartment going down the stairs and the intent for the restaurant setup a nice high-end restaurant where the 7-11 would be in real life. I walk into the restaurant and it's full of people. Best of all no one is wearing a mask or social distancing (I setup a no-mask, no-covid, no-social distancing rule for my dreams at the start of the pandemic cause that shit was driving me nuts ).

I was so happy to see people just sitting in this very nice restaurant with families and the serving staff were all happy. The vibe was super friendly and nice. Not seeing any masks made me feel wonderful, and I was thinking how sad that my dreams have to be more normal now than my waking life as restaurants now are depressing as hell to go to right now.

I get a table and sit down as a waitress gives me a menu, she has long straight black hair and a serving uniform. I'm in such a good mood at this point. I rap my hand on the table feeling as real as reality, she comes back with a glass of water and I order a seafood linguini and a beer (I don't drink anymore in my real life so I do all my beer drinking now in my dreams consequence-free).

The glass of water is cold, with condensation on the outside. I take a sip and the water is refreshing. She comes back with a beer and I light up excited (dream beer at least mine is BTL always). I eagerly take a sip, it's ice cold and tastes amazing. I take a big sip and just enjoy the experience and just people watch happy to see everyone in a 'normal' environment again, makes me a little emotional knowing it's not like that right now in my real-life.

The waitress comes back with my pasta and sets it down, it's steaming and smells amazing. I grab a fork and twirl the noodles around it and take a bite. It's hot, perfect alfredo sauce and like the beer, I just enjoy the experience. I don't eat the whole thing, no point it's not real food rather it was just for the sensory-experience and I decide to get up and I tell everyone how amazing they are and so glad to finally see some normality for once.

I give the waitress a friendly hug thanking her for her wonderful service and want to go thank the cooks for the amazing pasta so just walk into the kitchen. I tell them they are wonderful and amazing and I was so grateful for such a perfect pasta. They are happy with the praise.

I see a rack of pastries and there are these layered strawberry cakes, something I've never eaten in real-life. It was about 2" tall, rectangular cut, and had 3 cake layers with two different fillings. One was like a cheesecake filling light in color the other was like a thick strawberry jelly dark red. Had to try it out so grabbed one and it was amazing. A perfect strawberry-infused desert and I just loved how it tasted. All the icing, layers, filling were perfect, great texture again all for the experience knowing it was just a dream.

I start to worry though about time because I've been in this FAL cycle and it feels like hours have passed, due to the realistic work dream I thought I only had 30 minutes to sleep and realized way more than 30 minutes has passed so I should wake up just in case I sleep in.

I wake myself up, but not really I end up in the fifth FAL cycle and now it's like groundhog's day as I go into the kitchen see the clock but I'm already fully aware that I'm dreaming and in the FAL and decide fuck it, if I'm late for work, I'm late for work let's just keep riding this gravy train of super-realistic lucid dreams.

I anchor like before and get a bit cockier so I take a running start at the window that I pushed through the first time. This time I flew through it superman style, it even breaks and I fly out of the apartment having some fun with the flying. I fly over the city until I decide to land near a street.

I just walk and enjoy the setting of the dream, but suddenly there is some strange drama because the dream characters start running afraid of something, then another group is chasing after them. I look at the drama and decide not to get dragged into it.

I keep walking but of course, the drama catches up there are two people a heavier set woman and a man, they are carrying these jugs of acid and are spraying it on people (that is what the other normies were running from).

They approach me and the lady sprays a column of acid on me or at least she tries. Knowing I'm dreaming I just sheild instantly and the mist flows around me and that spooks her out. Both of them try again, and two big plumes of acid mist spray towards me but I just control the streams and make them stop short of touching me which freaks them out a little more.

"Trying to spray acid on me isn't very nice you know." I scold them. "It won't work on me."

The guy decides instead of using his mister he's going to pour it directly on me from the jug. These are classic glass jugs he just uncorks the apparatus and I decide not to even shield myself and let him pour it on me. The acid has a bubbling sizzling effect but doesn't do anything (because it's just a dream).

"There are you happy, you got me with acid finally," I tell him, both dream characters smiling thinking it's going to harm me but watch confused as the acid does nothing.

"You two are very rotten dream characters, you should be nice but if you want to be rotten I can do rotten," I tell them and I decide to have some fun.

I go over and grab them both and tell them, "If we are going to rot, let's rot together!" and I start to turn them into undead zombies, their skin where my hands are touching turn greenish grey and it spreads through their bodies, their eyes go white and faces start to take on undead appearances.

(I've been playing Return to Ravenloft which is a big undead-themed module hence that influence at this point in the dream ).

I also shift my dream avatar into an undead priest, very artistic, very cool, very fun (for me at least). And they are now zombie minions, the dream shifts to more fantasy-based role-play theme thanks to the Ravenloft gameplay from last night.

It doesn't last though because I wake up again into the sixth cycle of the FAL and repeat the kitchen/microwave groundhog day effect. I'm also concerned that I might be sleeping (wish I could have shaked that influence because I had a lot of time left to sleep that I was unaware of ).

Suffice to say, I decided to start to try to wake up for real and went through several more short FALs in the process until I finally woke up, and only because I thought I was sleeping in.

This time, I am fully awake and check my phone which is what I normally do (not the microwave) and the time is 6:59 and I think fuck is it 6:59 pm, and did I just sleep through my entire day of work. Then I notice it's 6:59 am and I was only asleep for 1 hour and had a whole hour and a half left to sleep realizing the first FAL was actually an ultra-realistic dream about going to work and I laughed then got disappointed that it made me wake myself up planting that seed that I only had 30 minutes to sleep.

Suffice to say, that's just today's adventure in dream land as I often lucid dream but don't log it due to the amount of time to write them all down. But since we are on this topic though I would share the one from today. Had some nice elements.
